The quilt patch titled
Subject: decompress_bunzip2: fix rare decompression failure
has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was
decompress_bunzip2-fix-rare-decompression-failure.patch
This patch was dropped because it was merged into the mm-hotfixes-stable branch
of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm

Subject: decompress_bunzip2: fix rare decompression failure
Date: Wed, 17 Jul 2024 17:20:16 +0100
The decompression code parses a huffman tree and counts the number of
symbols for a given bit length. In rare cases, there may be >= 256
symbols with a given bit length, causing the unsigned char to overflow.
This causes a decompression failure later when the code tries and fails to
find the bit length for a given symbol.
Since the maximum number of symbols is 258, use unsigned short instead.
